Objects and AutoIt..

[Skitty]

Can some one explain to me what an object is used for and how it makes my scripting less skiddiedly do like?

Also, an example script would be nice.

What are objects for? etc.

eg-

$strComputer = "."
$objWMIServices = ObjGet("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$sink = ObjCreate("WbemScripting.SWbemSink")
ObjEvent($sink,"SINK_")
$objWMIServices.ExecNotificationQueryAsync ($sink, "SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN 5 WHERE " & "TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_LogicalDisk'")

While 1
    Sleep(500)
Wend

Func SINK_OnObjectReady($objObject, $objAsyncContext)
 If $objObject.TargetInstance.DriveType = 2 Then
        Select
            Case $objObject.Path_.Class()="__InstanceCreationEvent"
               ;USB detected
            Case $objObject.Path_.Class()="__InstanceDeletionEvent"
               ;USB removed
        EndSelect
    EndIf
EndFunc

How the hell does

$objWMIServices = ObjGet("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

$sink = ObjCreate("WbemScripting.SWbemSink")

ObjEvent($sink,"SINK_")

$objWMIServices.ExecNotificationQueryAsync ($sink, "SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN 5 WHERE " & "TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_LogicalDisk'")

work???

Event sinks are kind of jumping in at the deep end. You might want to start on easier object references and work your way up to those. Search for something easy like adding a local user:

#RequireAdmin

$oWinNT = ObjGet("WinNT://.")
$oUser = $oWinNT.Create("user", "MyNewUser")
$oUser.SetPassword("MyNewPa$$word")
$oUser.SetInfo
